[Typo3-dev] Changing the link layout

[Markus Friedrich]

Thank you for your replies. I am well aware of what you are saying.

So, to clarify why I am trying to write a new extension:
- My extension should be able to specify different Icons for different file
types. (e.g. if the link points to a pdf, there should be a pdf icon) The
filetypes are fully customizable.
- The extension is able to show the filesize of the linked file.

As described, the problem I have at the moment is that I can place the
image or filesize only BEFORE the link and not AFTER.  How can I do this?

At the moment I see two possibilities  
- using the wrap function with a variable value
- replacing the typolink function with an own function
